Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for July 17, 2024

I don’t mind growing old…but my body is taking it pretty hard.

And things randomly hurt. And just when you become concerned about it, it stops. Don’t get me started on bruises. How did it happen without me knowing.

I know the feeling…

My right leg is like that.

I have a knee brace for days like this.

She has “knee-monia”

Or maybe a touch of “Arthur-itis”

Same here.

I can relate to that … sadly so.

Oh! So very true.

My knees are shot from being a ballerina most of my life. I loved dancing the ballet, but know that I’m older, my knees have gotten worse. Time to see an orthopedic doctor.

I have a shoulder that has decided to go bad on me.

My knees have more snap, crackle and pop than an entire box of Rice Krispies.

I’ve had several episodes where my knee would become so painful I had to use crutches. It came on suddenly, and was gone in less than a week. I finally found out that it was gout.
